Biggest Winners and Living a Healthy Lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle means living your life everyday in a way that improves your health and wellness. It means making choices every day of your life that will enhance your health and wellness, and enable you to achieve a full and healthy life

A healthy lifestyle is possible for everyone, but to achieve it, you need to know which choices are good for you and which are not.

The First Line Therapy program provides you with the knowledge you need to make healthy lifestyle choices each day.

A healthy lifestyle is based on the premise that many of the chronic conditions associated with aging – hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, as well as several forms of cancer, are not inevitable, but instead, many of these diseases are largely preventable simply by making sound lifestyle choices. Symptoms that people often view as signs of aging, such as low energy, poor memory, low libido,. chronic pain, and weight gain, are not signs of aging. They are signs of illness.

One of the most powerful lifestyle changes you can make to reduce your risk to common chronic diseases is related to improving your body composition.

While a certain amount of fat is necessary for normal functioning, excess fat in relation to lean muscle can greatly increase your health risks. Muscle is the body’s biologically active tissue and needs a far greater amount of caloric fuel to maintain itself compared to fat.

A higher ratio of muscle to fat increases your metabolism, which means you burn more calories each day

Muscle contains proteins which are necessary for the vitality of your whole body

Loss of protein stores (muscle) means loss of function

During illness, muscle is the major source of protein for functions such as wound healing, white blood cell production, and antibody production

Therefore, muscle mass and strength are considered the top two indicators of healthy aging and why building muscle is key to a healthy life and wellness.

One of the most powerful tools in controlling the aging process and increased health and vitality is to improve your muscle-to-fat ratio by adding more muscle to your body, and reducing your body fat.
